RAMPS AT HOME AND WORK
!
WARNING
Before driving on a ramp, return to a seating position and survey
the condition of the ramp. On slippery ramps traction may be
reduced causing your wheelchair to slide.
!
WARNING
Make sure ramps meet all Building Codes for your area.
For your safety, have a licensed contractor build or remodel a
ramp to meet all standards.
NOTE - The proper design will vary, depending on such things as:
the length and height of the ramp; the need for an intermediate
platform; landing size; doors, and the direction of swing, and;
whether the ramp includes a turn or angle.
WHEELCHAIR LIFTS
!
WARNING
Wheelchair lifts are used in vans, buses, and buildings to help you
move from one level to another.
1. ALWAYS return the wheelchair in the neutral position (See Fig.5)
2. ALWAYS turn off all power to your wheelchair when you
are on a lift. If you leave it on, you may touch the joystick by
accident and cause your wheelchair to drive off the platform.
(Be aware that a ”roll-stop” at the edge of the platform may
not prevent this).
3. Make sure there is not a lip or drop-off at the top or bottom
of the platform. These may cause a fall or tip-over. When in
doubt, have someone help you.
4. ALWAYS position the user securely in the wheelchair to help
prevent falls while on a lift.
5. Avoid moving forward if a wheel is caught on the lip of
the ramp. Backup, reposition the caster for a more direct
approach, and slowly try again.

CURBS & SINGLE STEPS
!
WARNING
1. It is recommended to ALWAYS use a ramp or a curb cut
when climbing and/or descending a curb, single step,
or other obstacle.
2. If you must climb or descend a curb, single step, or
other obstacle that is greater than 2.5” (65 mm), it is
recommended to have a person assist you.
3. NEVER should you try to climb a curb, single step, or
other obstacle greater than 3” (75 mm) high. (See Fig.2 in
Section OBSTACLES
on page 13
).
4. If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone, do so
at your own risk using extreme care and following this
procedure:
• Proceed slowly, at a steady speed
• Go as straight up or down as you can over the obstacle.
(See Fig. 6).
• NEVER turn when trying to climb or descend an
obstacle, doing so may result in a fall or tip-over.
NOT FOLLOWING THE ABOVE PROCEDURES MAY
CAUSE
• A fall or tip-over
• Damage to the frame, wheels, axles or other parts, or
loosen fasteners.
